Strategies / Proposals
• More than 40 • Many of these policies can meet multiple goals • Implementation is dependent on other working
group recommendations

Issues Identi!ed
• Lack of quality usable data – Exact extend and nature of change not well
understood – Nature of impacts vary from minor disturbances to
extreme losses – Long-term population gains likely
• It is an evolving !eld of policy planning

Climate Action Working Group
• Mitigation and Adaptation cannot be addressed independently
• Conservation is equally important • Perceptions/ beliefs cannot be ignored as climate
action will require buy in from a variety of stakeholders
